Tom Killion in Point Reyes

Allen and I decided to purchase a Tom Killion art piece for Christmas this year instead of buying gifts for each other. We found out that He was having an open studio at his home in Point Reyes this weekend, so we took off and headed up north. We both had never been to Point Reyes, plus what better than to purchase a Tom Killion piece from Tom himself. It was a gorgeous drive up Highway 1 to Point Reyes which is about an hour north of San Francisco. The drive was a bit windy, but well worth it. Tom Killion does woodblock prints in both black and white, and color. Allen fancies the colored prints, and I love the black and white pieces, so we ended up purchasing one of each. Plus, Tom had his press up and running and allowed us to make a print ourself from one of his older woodblocks, so we have a little keepsake too. It was an awesome experience meeting Tom Killion, and purchasing our first piece of art together!
